Sony Ericsson rolling out Xperia arc and Xperia neo Android 4.0 updates as we speak

Sony Ericsson rolling out Xperia arc and Xperia neo Android 4.0 updates as we speak

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

Just because it has no “Ericsson” in its name, that doesn’t mean Sony has forgot about its existing Sony Ericsson customers. Quite the contrary, the company is rolling out firmware updates for select devices wearing both names as we speak.
The select devices are Xperia arc and Xperia neo, which users have reportedly started receiving their servings of Ice Cream Sandwich. The phones will be updated to Android 4.0.4 and will remain on kernel 2.6.32.

Purported design schematics for the iPhone 5 confirm an opening for a 4" display

Purported design schematics for the iPhone 5 confirm an opening for a 4" display

Purported design schematics for the next iPhone have emerged, confirming what the leaked parts yesterday showed, namely an opening for a display that is roughly 4" in size.
Back-of-the-napkin calculations from the engineering blueprint return about 7mm taller and slightly wider front panel part than what we have now, which is not much at all, and certainly preferable than increasing the width too much and messing up with one-handed operation.

Nokia hints something BIG is coming this weekend, possible Nokia 808 PureView launch?

Nokia hints something BIG is coming this weekend, possible Nokia 808 PureView launch?

Posted on May 31, 2012 by MG3

"Something BIG is coming this weekend. What do you think it is, Nokianatics?" This is what Nokia Philippines enigmatically posted on its Facebook page along with a quartet of seemingly random images. No further teasers, no hints, nothing more. However, it is speculated that the Nokia 808 PureView is behind this mystery.
That is so because the Nokia Lumia 900 has already been released in that part of the world, and the 808 PureView is the only big thing that Nokia has left in its arsenal. Furthermore, the aforementioned four images that accompany Nokia's post suggest that whatever is to be unveiled might have superior photographic skills.

Filed in: Cell PhonesSony

Recently, we've heard rumors about the phone getting a successor, an Xperia Play 2, but the latest information straight from Sony rebuffs those rumors.

Nokia Pureview 808 available for pre-order on Amazon UK

Nokia Pureview 808 available for pre-order on Amazon UK

Posted on May 31, 2012 by MG3

The Nokia Pureview 808 is an average smartphone with a plethora of ordinary features except for one: it has a 41MP Carl Zeiss lens. Photography enthusiasts can rejoice because it’s now available for pre-order on Amazon UK.
Now hold on just a second. Is this thing really capable of snapping photos with a 41 megapixel resolution? If you look closely at Nokia’s advertising, it says that the Pureview 808 has astounding 41MP “image quality.” This means that the photos it does take have quality comparable to a 41MP photo, but in a nutshell, no it does not take 41MP photos.

Canadian Samsung Galaxy S III announced: 2GB of RAM, 1.5GHz dual-core processor

Posted on May 31, 2012 by MG3

The Canadian variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III will scrap the quad-core Exynos processor found in the European version and instead feature a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor.

It is unclear, however, if U.S. devices will also receive the RAM increase, although it does seem more likely now. The Samsung Galaxy S III will be available in Canada beginning June 20th.
